The First Web
The web needs a voice.
There are secret worlds humanity has only begun to imagine, nestled in the peripheries of our own existence. They brim with creatures from your dreams…and nightmares. Monsters will eat you. Ghosts will haunt you. Fairies will drive you mad.
But in all things there must be balance, and in every generation the keepers of the web lift up a chosen few. To steady the scales. To protect those who must live. To serve the web.
The new generation has been chosen.
PART I: I SEE THE WEB
Seventeen-year-old Erin has a lot to look forward to, even if it suddenly seems like everywhere she turns there’s a spider staring at her. She’s finally out to her friends and family, surprising exactly no one. When Dawn, the love of her tender teenage dreams, corners her in the library, a whole new world opens up to Erin. From here on out, it’s all make-out sessions with her beautiful girlfriend in rooms stacked high with books.
Until the spiders start whispering.
PART II: A SINGLE THREAD
It’s been two weeks since Morgan Fletcher’s little sister, Erin, disappeared before his eyes in a flurry of spidersilk and blood. Probability says she’s dead; but when Erin comes to him in a dream, Morgan’s eyes are opened to a level of reality where probability doesn’t mean jack. His sister sees the web of time, and she’s got news for him: trouble is coming.

He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his darling husband Matt and adorable dog Jay.
